Reseach Analysis on "Children and Televion" Includes References

Television and ChildrenTelevision can have positive or negative effects on our children. Children learn by watching and imitating adults. Television provides many influences for children that may not be what you wish for your kids. Television has become a "member" of almost every single family on our planet. And not just an ordinary member, but a very important one, because the time spent next to it exceeds the amount of time spent together with any other family member. You do not have to apply any efforts to talk or listen to complaints while “communicating” with it. You do not have to play with your baby son after a hard working day. You can simply turn the TV on and everything is done: kids are quiet, your wife is not complaining and you feel absolutely happy. It is so simple that it has become an integral part of the culture of every family. It is the only time, when a person can forget about all the family troubles and the failures of the day. The sofa opposite the TV set has become the place of “relaxation and spiritual unity” of the family. With television programs—and even a cable channel—designed and marketed specifically for babies, whether kids under age 3 should be watching becomes an important question. Television, movies and other electronics entertainment are not appropriate for children under the age of, even if they seem mesmerized by it.”(Miller, 2013, p326). While we are learning more all the time about early brain development, we do not yet have a clear idea how television may affect it. Television (TV) has its good side. Although many parents may disagree, there are several positive effects of television on children. Most of us with young children grew up watching television. Sesame Street is a PBS classic over 35 years old, with positive ratings for developing literacy, cultural awareness, diversity, imaginative play and ways to deal with feelings. So the American Association of Pediatrics' recommendation that children under the age of two years watch no television at all can be confusing. It can be entertaining and educational, and can open up new worlds for kids, giving them a chance to travel the world, learn about different cultures, and gain exposure to ideas they may never encounter in their own community. Shows with a prosaically message can have a positive effect on kids' behavior; programs with positive role models can influence children to make positive lifestyle changes. However, the reverse can also be true: Kids are likely to learn things from TV that parents don't want them to learn. TV can affect kids' health, behavior and family life in negative ways as well. “If children spend long periods of watching television, they are bound to internalize the language and behavior they see.” (Miller, 2013, p224). Spending time watching TV can take time away from healthy activities like active play outside with friends, eating dinner together as a family, or reading. TV time also takes away from participating in sports, music, art or other activities that require practice to become skillful. TV is a public health issue in several different ways. First of all, kids get lots of information about health from TV, much of it from ads. Ads do not generally give true or balanced information about healthy lifestyles and food choices. The majority of children who watch health-related commercials believe what the ads say. Second, watching lots of television can lead to childhood obesity and overweight. Finally, TV can promote risky behavior, such as trying dangerous stunts, substance use and abuse, and irresponsible sexual behavior. Most parents don't talk to their kids about sex and relationships, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Most schools do not offer complete sex education programs. So kids get much of their information about sex from TV. Sexual content is a real presence on TV. Soap operas, music videos, prime time shows and advertisements all contain lots of sexual...

The basic aim of a personality assesment is to probe deeply the applicant’s abilities, strengths weakness and qualification matching them with the job requirements for the position. In current trends personality assesments are taking a trend where they are more flexible and laid back than before. The reason is that more missing information can be gathered though a flexible process than in a rigid one.
There are several ways that personality assessment can be...

...from England. In her poem “In Reference To Her Children”, expresses the love and sadness experienced throughout life raising her children and her devotion towards her everlasting reward.
Anne Bradstreet was very proud that she raised good children and instilled them with religious and moral values. Anne says, “I had eight birds hatched in one nest” (1). This infers that she might have raised her children mostly by herself. Bradstreet proves her pride and relentless efforts to raise good children when she states, “I nursed them up with pain and care, Nor cost, nor labour did I spare” (4). She’s trying to express her love for her children, even though sometimes it hurt her to use disciplinary action on them. She wanted to make sure that they grew up knowing that there are consequences for their actions.
During her poem Anne Bradstreet expresses her internal conflict with “empty nest syndrome.” “Chief of the brood then took his flight,” (7) suggests that
Anne’s oldest son had boarded a boat and sailed somewhere far away. “My mournful chirps I after send, till he return, or I do end,” (9) shows the beginning of her internal struggle with loneliness as she is awaiting his return. At this moment, Anne has realized that her children are now growing and beginning to move out of the “nest.” They are no longer dependent on her to survive. She is struggling...

...Spanking ChildrenReferences
Taking the paddle or using your hand is spanking good for your children? Will it teach them their lesson or make them act out worse in other ways? These are just some of the questions I ask and this is a summary of a couple of my resources.
Experts: Spanking Harms Children, Especially Girls.
According to evidence and research spanking children, whether by using a belt or
your hand can cause physical and mental harm when done by a parent, teacher, or any
other authority figure. According to all of the studies so far males are spanked more than
females. With females there is a worry about the sexual impact of it, when she is spanked
by an adult male whoever he may be it trains the female to submit. When authority
figures at school spank females it lines them up to be beaten by male figures in the future.

...Research Analysis
INBU 451 Fall 2012
Milena Carrizo
Introduction-
I have attempted to identify in this research analysis what I would have to do in order to manufacture and export wine from either a small or medium sized winery in Chile and what needs to be done to increase my share of the U.S. wine market. Over 784,000,000 gallons of wine where sold in the United States in 2010, representing over 13% of all wine produced world-wide. California, a major producer, accounted for 70% percent of all U.S. sales. That didn’t leave much room for foreign imports or other U.S. states that also produce wine. Only approximately 50% of the 62 wine producing countries in the world had access to the U.S. market and of those countries, Italy, France and Australia accounted for 78% of foreign sales. Chile, however, has had success in penetrating the U.S. market. In fact they represent 10% of the U.S. import market. I found, however, that this represented the major wineries, not the smaller vineyards. I also found that Chile needs to increase their promotional activities in the United States. With the high number of producers and with the market dominated by a few major wineries, competition in the U.S. wine market is extremely high. And making it even more difficult is the fact that major retailers continued to consolidate their stores and businesses. This has had a direct effect on the wholesale and distribution networks, which have...

NOUNS AND PRONOUNS
The Reference Grammar Project, which is conducted by Saymaz and Sözen probing five different Teacher Reference books, does mainly aim to help those, who have intention of further research and examination about nouns and pronouns, find relative sources for their own teaching sessions. Following the basic examination of the subject “Nouns and Pronouns” (Chapter A), the teacher reference books that have been utilized will be put in comparison and evaluated under four distinctive headings (Chapter B), which are;
* Respective objective and aim
* Target population
* Content processed
* Organisational planning
Chapter A: NOUNS AND PRONOUNS
1- Definition of Nouns
As universally suggested, a noun describes a place, person or thing in addition to the fact that nouns might be used for expressing concepts, qualities, organisations, communities and events, which is provided by Parrott (2004) in his book Grammar for English Language Teachers.
2- Categorisation of Nouns
There are several classes, which are accepted to be available in categorisation of nouns such as;
2.1- Common and Proper Nouns
According to Lester and Beason (2005), proper nouns represent unique entities whereas common nouns differentiate in the sense that they utter a class of entities, which are not specific.
2.2- Singular, Plural and Collective...

...Part 1 - Short Answer
1)In her poem "In Reference to Her Children" I instantly noticed her great deal of emotion of concern for her children. She states "No cost, No Labour did I spare" that shows that she is willing to give and do whatever it takes to take care of her children.
2)Anne Bradstreet endured many hardships through out her life, two of which I feel greatly influenced her position as a mother.t
A) After Anne Bradstreet had arrived in America with her husband and other colonist she witnessed a great number of casualties as the colonist all had to fight for survival due to lack of food and poor living arrangements.
- I feel this experience instilled the importance of ensuring that her children never be put in this type of situation.
B) The home of Anne Bradstreet and her family burnt down, leaving them homeless for a little while.
- I feel this experience, made her realize that danger is everywhere and is inevitable, and that's why I believe she pushed so much to ensure her children were well prepared for the real world and instilled the fear that her children once on their own will endure their own countless experiences of hardships.
3) I could compare Anne Bradstreet to a teacher/instructor in the sense that she is educated and wants nothing more than the best for her children/students and in the sense that she feels education/knowledge is...
